Theoretically, the company could file a police report regarding stolen property. Obv this doesn't scale, and the mismanagement of the layoff created enough chaos to make proving that a former employee has company property is doubtful. The laid off employees did not even get instructions regarding returning company property, so attempts to recover that equipment before any such instructions are provided would draw even more lawsuits. The person who knows where all this gear is located is probably long gone. The Germans have a word for Twitter management competency: Schlamperei.
